Exeter, London and Bristol based law firm Michelmores is seeking to consolidate its position as one of the strongest practices of its kind outside of London with some significant hires during the year.

Michelmores, a previous winner of, and currently shortlisted for The Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners Private Client UK & Ireland Regional Team of the Year, has also been named Regional Law Firm of the Year at the prestigious Citywealth Magic Circle Awards 2013 and achieved 'One Star' Accreditation in the Sunday Times Best Companies Awards 2013.

The Private Client team has further strengthened Michelmores' Bristol office with the addition of the nationally acknowledged trusts, tax and wealth management specialist Sandra Brown and her team.

The firm’s vision to grow its national and international Private Client practice is supported by a growing presence in Bristol, where the leading national Agricultural Law team, led by Peter Williams and Vivienne Williams, has also joined Michelmores.

Senior level roles, including a vacancy for a Partner, are currently available in Exeter and Bristol to Support and lead the existing high level Tax, Trusts and Succession and Probate practices.

Will Michelmore, Senior Partner and Head of Michelmores' Private Client Team, said:

"Our aim is to build rapidly on our existing practice and recruit more top class Private Client lawyers. Sandra, being nationally recognised as a leader in her field is an important lateral hire in terms of achieving Michelmores’ future ambitions for growth. Working in tandem with Jonathan Riley who heads the firm’s Tax, Trusts and Succession team, we have the team in place and the quality of work to attract the very best private client talent available."
